The joys of working retail

 Yesterday was Mothers Day here and Saturday was prom. It would have been a madhouse without employees calling in (what are the chances one person would know two old woman who died in exactly the same way two weeks apart? [one day off to see her before surgery, one for surgery, and one to take her off life support] If it's true, that's sad, but we're thinking she needs to come up with better lies) or not showing up (having a test the next day is no excuse for not going to work), since we were down one employee anyway. I was scheduled Friday 10-7, Saturday 9-6 and Sunday 7-4, but ended up working 7:30a-8:15p, 7:30-6:30, and then 7-4:30, the last with no lunch.

Last night, I worked on a side story for In Trouble that includes both Mothers Day and baby's first spell. I'm going to try to type it in today and hopefully get it up soon.
